Psalms 81:16 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

With honey; either,

1. Metaphorically, with all pleasant and precious fruits, and with all delights, as all necessaries may be expressed under the name of wheat. Or rather,

2. Properly; this land of Canaan being commended for its excellent and plentiful honey; and the bees there did oft-times harbour and make their honey in the holes of rocks and such-like places, from which it flowed down upon the ground. See Deuteronomy 32:13 1 Samuel 14:25,26.

Psalms 81:16

16 He should have fed them also with the finestc of the wheat: and with honey out of the rock should I have satisfied thee.
